The cricketing journey is still going strong for 48-year-old Pravin Tambe. Defying age, breaking stereotypes and leaving the fans in wonderment; these are some of the virtues which aptly describe T⛎ambe as a cricketer.
During a match between Trinbago Knight Riders (T🏅KR) and St Kitts Nevis and Patriots (SKP), Tambe stunned 🀅the cr🅷icketing world with a splendid catch in the field.
It was the seventh over of the match when SKP’s batsman Ben Dunk attempted a reverse sweep off Fawad Ahmed’s delivery. Dunk could only manage a top-edge and the ball flew towards the third man.
Tambe, who🐼 was stationed at backward point, made a dashing sprint and dived at the last moment to grab the catch.
A🍨part from the specta⛄cular catch, Tambe bamboozled the SKP batting order with his imperious bowling. He conceded just nine runs and took a wicket in his spell of four overs.
Tambe became the first Indian🧸 player to feature in the Caribbean Premier League (CPL) this year.
CPL uploaded the video on their official Twitter handle and captioned it as: “PRAVIN TAMBE!! Aged like fine wine! A brilliant catch and a Wicket! #CPL20 #CricketPlayedLouder #SKPvTKR”.

Meanwhile, the Knight Riders will be locking horns with Jamaica Tallawahs (JT) in the𝓀 semi-final of the tournament on September 08.
The Kieron Pollard-led side is yet to lose a game in the campaign, and they would be 🌞aiming for 11th consecutive victory to seal their spot in the final.
